Thank you.
As part of the committee study on the use of social media platforms for data harvesting and unethical or illicit sharing of personal information for foreign entities, Brigitte Gauvin, the acting assistant commissioner of federal policing for national security in the RCMP, noted that the RCMP's national security program investigates criminal activities, and if the activities pertain to foreign interference, an investigation takes place. However, she emphasized that the RCMP does not investigate social media for misinformation, disinformation or attempts to influence the platform. It investigates only if there is criminal activity.
Why is the RCMP not investigating misinformation, disinformation or attempts to influence on social media platforms?
